Fly Swiss Business Class to Europe from 60K Miles

Fly NEW SWISS A350 Business Class (“Swiss Senses”) to Europe from 60K miles each way (it can be as low as 51K miles each way using the 25% Citi transfer bonus to Avianca, which charges 63K miles from Montreal YUL, but we do *not* recommend using Avianca LifeMiles because of its abysmal customer service in the event of changes or irregular operations).

Swiss Senses new SWISS Business Class is available for a handful of dates:

Montreal YUL to ZRH: late Feb. 2026, several March dates until 3/24
ZRH to YUL: late Feb. 2026, several March dates until 3/26

SWISS Business Class Award Booking

Air Canada Aeroplan charges 60,000 Aeroplan points each way for flights between Switzerland and Montreal. United MileagePlus is more expensive, at 88,000 miles each way.

Avianca LifeMiles is the least expensive option at 51,000 Citi ThankYou points using the 25% transfer into 63,000 LifeMiles, but LifeMiles has simply terrible customer service. Recently someone who booked a roundtrip award suffered an Avianca cancellation on his return, but even though the rebooked flight didn't work for him, Avianca refused to refund the prorated mileage amount and taxes. And when he filed a chargeback for the taxes, Avianca threatened to terminate his account . . . so caveat emptor, where Avianca is concerned.

Where to Ski in Switzerland and Europe

For a winter skiing vacation, we recommend Cheval Blanc Courchevel, L'Apogee Courchevel (Oetker Collection), COMO Alpina Dolomites, Badrutt's Palace St. Moritz, and the W Verbier.
